\ country Is nervous debility and prost1a.ioa. it goes under many names but 1t Is essen- tially tae sane conpla Ut. Hospitals and private institu- tions for r"rvous patients are crowded. I ne average of life in the United States is de- creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among oir business, profess ional and pt5lic men are so frequent a' scarcely to excite remark. ! le majority of sui cides, committed without ap- parentreason, or underso-called "depressioa Of spirits" are really prompted by nervous prostration, which Is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all t;eir grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. They wreck manhood's strength and wolnan's useful ness and beauty.
 ! Every one should know the causes. What are theys The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawlessl eating and drinking; the in" tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears end struggles of pov. erty; the use of narcotics and stimulanta; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hours pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards.
 ' The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng fish, Nervous Dyspepsaa, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim- ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being inpoded or des- troyed, tie whole body, nerves included, is literally starued; even when there Is no emaci- ation to tell the sad story.
 ! Nervous proayttfi'ation sends out it's warnings:-headach in the morning.; Q persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; waloefulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and siness; restlessness and anx- iety without any assignable son; quotations; bad breath; foal mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitat!on of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition.
 ] The remedy is a total aban- donment of the habits and GUS toms which calise the disease in each individual case, and the use of .SiaEer Ertract of Roots (Seigel's Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This great remo4r, prepared by the Shaker Coa,nunity of Mt. Leb- anon, N, r., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys- pepsia. To Go this it acts L Iectly aad gently but power fully upon tae diso"dercd stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- noting tie secretion Of bile, ex- pelling w9ste matters from the system,and pgrifying the blood.
 Upon tue nervous system Shaker Eat1act(Seigel's Syrup acts as q safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone aud strength through it's wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition.
 r It IS safe to say more nerv- ous dyspeptics have been re- stored by it from the depths of misery to fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other forms of treatment combined
